Although rickets was first described in the mid-1600s, it was not until the 1920s that deficiency of vitamin D was recognized as its cause. Despite its designation as a vitamin, dietary vitamin D is needed only if a person receives inadequate exposure to sunlight. Normally, vitamin D3 is synthesized in the skin by irradiation of 7-dehydrocholesterol (Figure 37-1). Sufficient exposure to ultraviolet radiation can cure rickets.

Eresh fruits are strongly recommended in the human diet since they are rich in vitamins, dietary fibres, minerals and antioxidants. In particular, sweet cherries contain remarkable contents of polyphenols, such as anthocyanins, which give them the characteristic colour and antioxidant properties. Fermentation can further enhance the antioxidant properties of sweet cherries. Sweet cherry Prunusavium L.) puree fermented by selected autochthonous lactic acid bacteria (L. plantarum, Pediococ-cus acidilactici, Pediococcus pentosaceus and Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides) at 25 C for 36h has been reported to exhibit significantly higher DPPH radical-scavenging capacity compared to unfermented sweet cherry puree (Cagno etal., 2011).
